  Toma,

      Does your router have a port to take a jump drive? Is it connected to a computer (some are not)

  I have my design computer in a different location than my router...... When I get a toolpath I put it in a file with a good name date it put it on a jump drive bring that to my computer that drives my router....... Put the file I just saved in another folder named "toolpaths"

  then start the router control software search where I put the file and now I am up and running.

  Hi Toma,
  
  If you own a 3018 CNC machine, you would select the 3018 (mm) (*.tap) or 3018 (inch) (*.tap) post processor option (depending on whether you're working in metric or imperial units) from the Save Toolpaths dialog's Machine file format list when saving your toolpaths from Carveco Maker, and then load the saved toolpath output files (*.tap) into Candle.

  Thanks again for your time and consideration.
